While some may think the cotton candy pinks and blues are inappropriate for a home on the market, I think all will agree that this home has stunning interior architecture. I am particularly coveting the pocket doors that open up Kylie's dining room to the living room. And I love how Read more

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Seefree from the Su Casa group: For whatever reason, the builder of our house made the back door from a bathroom to the pool area very tall, skinny and with no interest.

I love how the less refined door contrasts with the chandelier showcased in the bathroom beyond. Do you like this style? Or is it too whimsical for your tastes? Source Love It or Hate It?
